I’ve always been perceived as a joke by people, friends, family, strangers. I’ve always had a jokey personality but I am serious as-well and yet I’m never really taken seriously. I’ve got a degree but I’m still spoken down to by a lot of people who also think I’m stupid. I admit to knowing less on subjects than a lot of people and I do struggle with stuff but that perception as-well as the obesity tacked on creates this Homer Simpson type image for me.
I just want to know that by dropping the weight (and continuing to try to improve knowledge through more reading news, listening to philosophy podcasts, etc) will I actually be seen as more of a normal and serious person? There are all these stupid drunk videos and other ones of me as-well that will never go away but I always hoped dropping the weight would let me distance myself from the past, because I feel so weighed down by it like I can never escape. I often wonder if I have autism or ADHD or something, and I am horrible at maths and science. Because of my weight I suck at sports too, further adding to this weird loser character.
People reading this will assume I have low-self esteem and I probably do. They’ll say losing weight will increase that self-esteem and that will be the thing that makes them see you differently. However, I don’t totally buy that. I fear that people will always see me like this, and I can’t stand that.
